When Boris Johnson finally announced he would step down as UK Prime Minister on Thursday, after desperately trying to cling onto power despite a historic government rebellion, his decision sparked a sense of relief across Westminster.
In Kyiv, it was met with despair.
Johnson has been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine as it tries to defend itself against Russia's unprovoked assault, and his departure stirred up fears that the UK's support for the country -- worth £3.8 billion ($4.6 billion) so far this year -- might start to dwindle.
With the whole Western world united behind it, Ukraine has no shortage of supporters. But Johnson was seen as a special ally in Kyiv.

He was supposed to be a conservative but he turned out to be a globalist nazi. Good riddance.
Unprovked? How about Biden and NATO. That was a definite provocation in my opinion.
Boris is the George W. Bush of Britain.
The friggin' civil war has been going on for 8 years. The mostly Russian population of the Donbass area wanted to go back to Russia....just like Crimea.
“Johnson has been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine as it tries to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked assault”
Ludicrous.
I was one of the idiots thinking we were getting Reagan/Thatcher 2.0. Boris total disaster and Trump is gone, so much for that.

Well, both Boris and The Donald have unusual hairdos in common, so at least there’s that.
Need to get a new Thatcher maybe Nicholas Frange as PM?
So Boris WAS Soros biotch.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Ukraine’s fate is the hands of faulty and frail western leaders, because Ukraine’s government is product and puppet of them.
Elitist Boris, who never had a real job his entire life, once described himself as a “one-man melting pot”. Lol! A jovial chap who morphs himself into the latest fad. Who could have predicted he’d be a sellout when his entire history exposed he would? hah
Like in the U.S., it's flat out amazing how they get the working class peasants to support people like that....Down right weird.
No British prime minister will ever be who or what you’d want. Still, BoJo was probably better than most of the recent ones, and he wasn’t a raging imperialist like most of the earlier ones.
I agree.
Boris Johnson was Kyiv’s darling. Now that he’s leaving, Ukraine fears what’s next
